off pleasantly to all concerned-even to
those who were unsuccessful. These pri-
mary elections are great luxury, and they
show to the appointing power that the will
of the people must and shall be respected.
In other words ror populi, vor Del, which is
all the same in Latin when applied to poll
tics. We must have more of these things.
The privileges of the ballot-box are too sa-
cred and too precious to be lightly cast aside.

Another one of our fair ones has gone. Our
boys must look out for such invasion of
their rights and forefend against them !
Young men of Fort Mill, look to your rights

CYCLONE SPARK ARRESTER.

WHITE OAK, S. G., January 5, 1887.
AER. @. J. HOKE: have been using your
yl "Cyclone Spark Arrester," and find it a
tirst-class arrangement 1 first used it on 6
horse power with l2-inch stack, and found that
a bunch of lint cotton held over the stack could
not be fired with the greatest speed could give
the engine while threshing. Then, this Fall,
bought an horse power Tanner & Delaney engine
with 9-inch stack, and when ginning at night
was unable to stir the fire in the furnace enough
to make spark 60 out of the stack. Finding
that needed more draught, you remember you
opened the smoke-stack wider and put on 12-
inch saddle and stack. That gives me draught
enough to lift water IS feet to feed the boiler and
steam at the pop-valve at 100 pounds. I have
ginned some half dozen bales of cotton after
night, and as far as any fire from the stack is to
be seen, you would not know there was any near
it. On one occasion, the night was 80 dark that
only the outline of the stack could be traced
from the side Of the engine room, and yet there
was no sign of sparks from the top Of the stack
I have had the fire stirred upside down and
find that the cinders getting through come out
black and dead, while the Goals fall back drown
ed out and finally burn to ashes, in the smoke
box. / would not sell mine for 800, if could
not get another like it, While half dozen GIN
dry weather, mine has escaped. l. therefore,
give you an unqualified endorsement of my
"Cyclone Spark Arrester.' I think can sell a
half dozen around here. Very respectfully,

LETTER FROM CLOVER.

CLOVER, S. c., January lion the even
ing of the 10th instant, Mrs. c. A. Mat
thews, who lives one mile east of this place,
lost her barn and its contents by fire. Be-
sides the supply of hay, fodder, &C., stored
in the barn, one of her horses was badly
burned, and four mules belonging to Mr.
Davis, of Fairfield, and in charge of Mrs.
Matthew'S son, were destroyed. A. negro
woman living on the place was arrested,
charged with the commission of the crime,
and committed to Jail. Circumstantiai evil
dence points to her as the guilty party.
The fire was discovered about dark, while
the family were at supper, but too late to
arrest the progress of the flames.
Mr.. l.. s. Hill, who lived with ID. M.
Ford, two miles north of this place, was
found dead in his bed on last Saturday
morning. He did his regular days work
on the preceding day, ate hearty supper
and retired, to all appearance, in good
heath but when his room was entered on
Saturday morning to summon him to break
fast, he was found dead. The coroner was
notified, and he held an inquest, of the con-
clusion Of which not know; but DR.. A.
P. Campbell was called in and from all the
circumstances he pronounced disease of the
heart as the cause of the death. AS a foun-
dation for this conclusion, he says that four
of Mr.. Hill's immediate family and four
others of the connection have died in the
same way. G.
